Update to what has been said before: Nothing has really changed and i can confirm the positive comments regarding location, hotel, food and diving.
An absolutely fantastic place to be, if you don't fancy the artifical and overpriced resorts....
Some points:
* IMUGA: Covid restrictions are indeed gone, only the IMUGA has to be filled for arrival and depature. But it is quite convenient via OCR if you scan you passport and upload the file. The data were all in the system when we arrived and left and we did not have to show any print out our screen shot.
* We got perfectly guided by BB airport reps from arrival to domestic departure for the flight to Maamigili, although it was just a few meters.
* On arrival at VAM, you get directly driven to the port for your speedboat to Dhigurah (just follow the flow...) where the BB driver was waiting.
* The DM Team is a great bunch, very attentive and helpful. The ratio DM to guest is 1:2 max 1:4. On every dive, we got excellent briefings and guiding at the pace of the guests.
* Money: The island's brand new ATM is located at the port and one of the first things you see.... Local shops are happy to take USD or EUR, some also accept CC.
* The rooms are perfect, the food delicious and there was nothing we missed.
* WIFI was excellent as promised, so that we did not had to get a local SIM card to stay in touch with home. We could easily fulfill our duty to annoy those at home with the great vacation photos... especially when there is snow at home...
